Susitna gas exploration comment extended

Petroleum News

The Alaska Division of Oil and Gas said Jan. 11 that the comment period has been extended for the preliminary finding of the director on the Susitna Valley gas exploration licenses. (See story in Dec. 19, 2021, issue of Petroleum News.)

The preliminary best interest finding is available on the division’s website at http://dog.dnr.alaska.gov/Services/ExplorationLicensing?page=explorationlicensing.

The division said the finding will be revised as needed and any relevant information and issues brought up during the public comment period will be incorporated in the final finding as necessary.

If the director determines the proposed licenses are in the best interests of the state, the division may award the exploration licenses to the Alaska Natural Gas Corp. to explore gas on state-owned unencumbered lands within the license areas.
